Interesting choice. Did not changing it on the fly work out as good or other reasons? Was it too far apart from where the inipath was needed? Or just a leftover from an older part of the design?
You peaked my curiosity. I am interested in choices people make on design, sometimes I am not saying it is bad or good. I personally would have went with a buffered read and a two pass across the buffer. But that has drawbacks too. Sometimes seeing why others come up with their choices is an interesting way to learn something new.
